Privacy Policy

Last updated September 22, 2026

Connected Path Counseling, operated by David A. Gordon, LPC (“Connected Path Counseling,” “I,” “me,” or “my”), respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and protected when you visit this website or contact me through it.

Information collected through this website

I may collect information that you voluntarily provide through the website’s contact form, including your:

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Telephone number

  • Preferred method of contact

  • General reason for reaching out

  • Any other information you choose to include

Please do not submit detailed medical, mental health, or other highly sensitive information through the website’s contact form. Submitting the form does not establish a therapist-client relationship.

The website may also automatically collect limited technical information, such as your browser type, device type, IP address, referring website, pages visited, and general interaction with the website.

How your information may be used

Information collected through this website may be used to:

  • Respond to your inquiry

  • Arrange a consultation or appointment

  • Provide information about services

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the website

  • Monitor website performance and security

  • Comply with applicable legal or professional obligations

I do not sell or rent your personal information.

Contact forms and electronic communication

Information submitted through the contact form may be transmitted through Squarespace and delivered by email. Although reasonable precautions are taken, standard website forms and email may not be completely secure.

Please use the contact form only for general inquiries and consultation requests. Do not use it for emergencies, urgent clinical concerns, or detailed confidential information.

If you are experiencing an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis in the United States, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Cookies and website analytics

This website is hosted by Squarespace. Squarespace may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the website to function properly. It may also collect analytics information about how visitors use the website.

Cookies are small data files stored on your device. Depending on the website’s settings, they may support security, basic functionality, performance measurement, and analytics. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the website function.

Third-party service providers

I may use third-party providers to operate the website and respond to inquiries. These providers may include:

  • Squarespace for website hosting, forms, security, and analytics

  • An email provider for receiving and responding to messages

  • A scheduling platform, if you choose to request or schedule a consultation

  • Other service providers used to support business operations

These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms. I encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you use.

Links to other websites

This website may include links to third-party websites. I am not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of those websites. Visiting an external website is subject to that website’s own policies.

Data retention

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, provide requested services, meet professional or legal obligations, maintain appropriate business records, and protect the security and integrity of the practice.

Data security

Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards are used to protect information submitted through this website. However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Children’s privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. A parent or legal guardian should contact me directly when seeking services for a minor.

Your choices

You may contact me to:

  • Ask what personal information you have submitted through this website

  • Request that inaccurate information be corrected

  • Request deletion of information, when applicable

  • Ask questions about this Privacy Policy

Some information may need to be retained when required by law, professional standards, insurance requirements, or legitimate business purposes.

Therapy records and health information

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the public website. It is not a Notice of Privacy Practices and does not replace any notice, informed-consent document, or other privacy information provided to therapy clients.

If you become a client, information related to your care may be protected by additional federal and state confidentiality requirements. You will receive separate information explaining how treatment-related information may be used, disclosed, and protected.

Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes to the website, services, or applicable requirements. The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
